Chapter 197: Are You the Devil?
Li Yuan hung up the phone, he was still very satisfied with Zhang Xi and Lucina's performance.
Through the relationship of the Magic Capital Materials Bureau, the first batch of 3,000 square meters of wood was snatched up. And let go of a sentence - as many as you have, we will have as much as we want. As long as a part of the profits is left for the three industries of the Demon Capital Materials Bureau, the entire Yangtze River Delta region has a nearly unlimited market!
In the early nineties, this was the last period of material shortage in the country. In particular, raw materials such as steel, non-ferrous metals, oil, and wood are lacking in almost everything.
If you put it in a few decades, it seems like a joke. For example: steel, just one Tang City, can almost beat the world. So it's not unusual at all. However, in this era, these materials are all in short supply, and they even retain their value more than cash.
Don't think that's an exaggeration. If you have the experience of that era, you should know that countless approvals and downfalls have been born, and there are indeed many people who have dug the first pot of gold.
At that time, almost all public telephone booths, there were always a few people: "...... I have 100,000 tons of rebar (plywood, aluminum ingots) here, and the price per ton is ......, and we have to collect ...... per ton The introduction fee! Introducing the fee to pay in cash! ”
Anyway, those aunts who look at the phone are secretly scolding MMP in their hearts! These birdmen didn't do a few successful businesses. (laughs and cries)
All right! Really related, energetic masters, will they go to drill public phone booths?
But then again, you can imagine how crazy it was for the whole people to do business at that time. How scarce these supplies are.
Why is this happening? The reasons are very complicated, and I won't introduce much about the dual-track system, so you should know everything.
Of course, there is another very important reason - due to the vigorous development of the domestic market economy, the domestic production of raw materials is no longer enough, resulting in a huge gap.
So what to do?
If it is put in a few decades, maybe everyone can say a very easy answer: then import!
However, in this period, if you want to import? A foreign exchange problem will never be bypassed!
Theoretically, if you import goods in this era, there is actually no barrier. As long as it is not a strictly controlled product, any product can be imported after paying customs duties and other fees. But the bad thing is that the soft sister coin is not freely convertible.
You must know that in international trade, pure imports or simple exports are still relatively rare. If China knows about foreign exchange control, don't foreign countries know about it? Therefore, if you import some goods, you will definitely want to export some of your local goods.
For example: wood, or seafood before that. The country does agree to import, but it will only be paid for with soft girl coins. If you want to switch to Forex? I'm sorry! Not at all. Over time, importers have a large number of soft girl coins in their hands. They simply can't buy goods from abroad, and this kind of import trade can't be done.
This is the situation in China at this time. On the one hand, several large foreign exchange earners have a large amount of foreign exchange in their hands, but they would rather deposit it in the bank than release it. On the other hand, some importers have a large amount of soft sister coins in their hands, but they simply cannot find a way to exchange foreign currency.
As a result, the black market price of foreign exchange has skyrocketed abnormally, reaching a very exaggerated dollar exchange rate of 1:10.
It will be necessary to wait until next year, that is, in 93, when the country begins to open up foreign exchange on a limited basis. That is, a foreign exchange center has been set up in Hong Kong, giving an internal adjustment channel.
There is no doubt that this is a great deal of good governance, which can make full use of foreign exchange resources. There is no longer the same as before - the rich die of the rich, and the poor die of poverty.
Anyway, the whole country is a game of chess. As long as the overall trade surplus is controlled, it will be fine. It is not necessary to have a certain company guarantee a trade surplus, as was the case before. This has also stimulated the rapid growth of import and export trade.
It also corrects distorted forex rates. In a short period of time, it has retraced to the dollar exchange rate below 1:8.
So, it's a very bad time for others. They know that there is a shortage of timber in the country, but they don't dare to import it at all? It's useless to get those soft girl coins.
But to Li Yuan? He didn't care about any of that at all. Even in his eyes, the soft girl coin is more valuable than the dollar. As long as you can sell it.
This led to the fact that only Li Yuan dared to do it, and his hand became bigger and bigger......
……
Two trucks loaded with goods drove into the town of White Rhino, attracting a group of children in pursuit. A large crowd jumped onto the carriage and loaded and unloaded the goods to the ground. In the cab, several black and thin Chinese got out of the car, observing the surrounding situation with complicated expressions.
Among those Chinese, the leader was named Ye Yaohua. He was from Hu Jian and was one of the first domestic businessmen to venture to the African continent.
Because Hu Jianqi divides mountains into two parts of water and one land, it has always been a poor coastal area with few land and many people, so the local area has a tradition of going overseas. Some go to the South Seas, some emigrate to other countries, and some simply go abroad to do business, and even for hundreds of years. So overseas, Hu Jianren has already formed a network of his own fellow countrymen.
It should be said that such a network does have benefits, at least in a foreign country there are fellow villagers to take care of; But there are certain drawbacks. For the sake of internal cohesion, it is relatively closed to the outside. is generally in the small circle of Hu Jianren.
Relatively speaking, Ye Yaohua is one of the ones who has "seen the world", because he is a veteran, and the army has comrades-in-arms from all over the country, so he doesn't care much about that kind of regional concept.
A few days ago, after the elders and friends of the same township came to the African continent, Ye Yaohua took the initiative to open up new markets, and finally heard that there are many opportunities in the Central African region, so he took a few people and a batch of goods, and came to Sokir without hesitation.
It should be said that Ye Yaohua is still quite satisfied with the business environment here in Sokir. The only thing that bothers is that YS (Africa), they are also businessmen from China, and they have a sufficient supply of goods, so they are not a small fight at all?
mmp! How can this be competitive? Why should the Chinese be embarrassed by the Chinese?
Luckily, YS (Africa) only does wholesale business. After taking the initiative to contact, YS (Africa) was also willing to provide wholesale to Ye Yaohua and them, and they ate a lot of ...... The scraps are cold.
Having said that, although it is a cold scorching scrap, it is indeed a best-selling product in Sokir. In particular, it saves the trouble of domestic procurement and consignment, and the money earned in the end is not small.
However, as Hu Jianren, he was born not to be willing to live under others. Ye Yaohua and the others have already made a decision, and when they have made up enough principal, they will also carry out such a wholesale business sooner or later, occupy the entire sales chain, and make every penny completely.
However, at this time, Ye Yaohua and they suddenly received an invitation, YS (Africa) is ready to open up new markets in the Central African region? Want to work with old and new friends?
With questions, Ye Yaohua and the others hurried to Baixi Town......
……
But as soon as they got out of the car, they heard bursts of screams, which scared Ye Yaohua and the others.
I saw a few soldiers with rifles on their backs, and they dragged a desperately struggling black young man and threw them directly to a ...... It should be a barracks, right?
And behind those soldiers, several women, children, old and weak, cried in a sparse voice, as if they were separated from life and death......
What is the situation?
Finally, someone couldn't help it: "Brother Yaohua, is this pulling Zhuang Ding?" Isn't it for us to do business? ”
"Is there going to be a war here?"
"Lie down! What are they going to do? ”
“……”
Ye Yaohua is relatively calm. He quickly looked around, and found that the civilians here seemed to be commonplace, pointing at such scenes, talking and laughing, and there was no fear at all.
And it also has a very strange feeling here. There is no laziness that is characteristic of the African continent at all, as if everyone is busy, and there is always a feeling of doing big things?
"Look again! I heard that YS's Boss Li is here. He's also from China, so he won't hurt us, right? ”
The voice did not fall. Ye Yaohua: They saw a few men in suits with briefcases rushing out of the door. But before he could run a few steps, he was dragged back to the house by a group of big black men who were giggling. Then there was a whistle, and a group of beautiful black girls swarmed in, faintly hearing bursts of screams......
(⊙?⊙) (⊙?⊙) (⊙?⊙)……
……
Just as Ye Yaohua was trembling, Harden came to Li Yuan happily. He snapped his fingers proudly: "Brother, it's all done!" The souls of the bank still want to take advantage of me? I made their little birds not fly for a month! Hahaha! ”
Regarding Harden's riotous operation, Li Yuan simply disagreed.
That's where the head snake comes in. If it is replaced by Yutouao Village, Li Yuan will also take out eighteen martial arts, which will impress everyone.
Besides, do you really think that the banks will lose money? If they weren't optimistic about the loan, how could they send someone to White Rhino Town?
"Fakyu! Harden! Fakyu! Plum! Are you devils? ”
There was a roar in the room, but with the laughter of a group of women, there was soon applause......
As soon as he turned around, Li Yuan finally saw Ye Yaohua and them. He smiled and waved his hand: "Are you Boss Ye?" Welcome to White Rhino Town! ”

……
Coming from a war-torn region of Central Africa, Occam and his family finally escaped from their regionally distant homeland to the Republic of Vila.
Despite being penniless, Occam still feels like one of the lucky ones. At least there is no war or famine here, and at least this place can accommodate itself as refugees. And by climbing mountains and wading all the way, his old mother, wife and a pair of children are safe and sound. What's not to be satisfied with?
At this refugee gathering point, Occam's family was given a tent and some household items. I heard that you can get the citizenship of the Republic of Vera in the future, and I heard that the tribal chief here is a kind person.
As for joining other tribes, Occam doesn't have any psychological barriers. It is nothing more than working to earn money and give the whole family a good life.
You know, like the tribes on the African continent, they are not like civilized societies, and many people's three views are distorted.
Since there was no education and no written language, their knowledge was transmitted by word of mouth, and it all came from the top of the tribal chiefs, elders, shamans, etc. In other words, if the tribes are suddenly merged or extinguished, there will be no such oral transmission, that is, the disconnection of knowledge.
This is not like a civilized society, at least there are the words and deeds of the people around you, at least there is the spread of morality and social customs.
Therefore, they have a very blind attitude towards tribal leaders. We feel inexplicable, but they feel normal.
In particular, there is no obstacle to the recognition of this identity. So by the time he got here, Occam had come to think of himself as a member of the Harden tribe.
Now that they have become the same tribe, Occam and the others are completely unguarded.
Today, however, something has changed. A group of soldiers broke into the refugee gathering point, where they specifically selected middle-aged men, and then captured a nearby ...... It should be a barracks, right?
Just as Occam and the others hid in their tents, the whole family shivering. A few big men broke into the tent and, without saying a word, dragged him out......
At this moment, Occam thought of the tragic situation in his hometown. This is how many people are captured by the soldiers, forced to fight, and then their families are ruined.
Hearing the family members behind him crying bitterly, Occam let out a burst of screams in horror. I didn't expect to just get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den. Our lives are really miserable!
Oh my God, are you a bunch of devils?
Occam was already crying and almost scared to pee. Until he was thrown into a large tent in the barracks, he found that there were already dozens of Central Africans like himself inside. They also looked flustered, and honestly squatted on the ground.
Luckily, Occam also had the experience of war. He immediately followed the example of the others, and crouched in the corner with his head down.
At this time, I heard the soldier who captured me laughing: "Here comes another one, 20 dollars!" Hehe. ”
"Hold on, catch a few more before it gets dark."
“……”
The group of soldiers happily ran out, leaving behind a black lady with a bucket waist, a black man in a suit and leather shoes, and a few men with guns.
The black aunt glanced around: "Hello! My name is Kunkun. Congratulations, you've got a job! ”
"Work?" Occam was even more frightened. Isn't it just to be a soldier and fight? If we want to fight, who the hell will flee to your Vera Republic?
"That's it! Let's start with the rules. You need to sign a contract to work for us for twenty years. After signing the contract, you can get a house and many necessities. The first month is the training period for new employees. Only 1,000 CFA francs can be paid. Hurry up and get in line now! Send money! ”
Housing? Send money?
